Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Arittapatti is also called Aritapatti or Pancha Pandava Padukkai from the Mahabharata legends.

Arittapatti is a village set near a rocky hill about 25 kilometers northeast of Madurai. It has one of the oldest known Tamil Brahmi inscriptions, as well the oldest known Shaivism-related Lakulisha iconography in Tamil Nadu and Jain monuments.

The above rock-cut Hindu temple is dated to about 7th- or 8th-century CE. A Shiva linga is in the center sanctum, carved from the natural rock. On one side is a shrine for Lakulisha yogi (Pashupati Shaivism) and the other side has a shrine for Vinayaka (Ganesha).
